Peterbilt 387 (1999)

Trucks and Commercial Road Vehicles

The 1999 Model 387 was an aerodynamically enhanced highway tractor and the indirect successor to the Model 377, introduced alongside the Model 385. Its cab structure was shared with the Kenworth T2000, the first all-new Peterbilt cab design since 1972, while the 387 used its own chassis and hood design. It has nothing to do with the earlier heavy-duty off-road Model 387 of the 1970s and 1980s, which shared only the number. In 2010 the Model 587, sharing its cab structure with the Kenworth T700, was introduced as the successor of the 387.
